Update Thyself

System Update checks the Lenovo Help Center Web site for
updates for itself, even if it is connecting to a network share
repository.

This setting is to enable or disable the Update Thyself
function. You can remove the Update Thyself function from
System Update by clearing this value.

Managing network share repositories with Active Directory

This section provides a description of the policy settings for the network share repository. Setting these
policies will prompt an end user for a user name and password when the System Update end user interface
is launched or when a scheduled update runs. When an end user authenticates into a domain and has
appropriate rights to access the network share repository, then no prompt for the user name and password
is displayed on the System Update end user interface.

Active Directory enables you to edit policy settings with the Group Policy Editor. To customize the settings
for network share repository folder, add the ADM file for System Update to the Group Policy Editor.

To add the ADM file and customize the settings, do the following:

1. Download the System Update ADM file from the Lenovo Web site at:

http://www.lenovo.com/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=TVAN-ADMIN#tvsu

Note: If you are using an ADM file and the Group Policy Editor to set policy settings for System Update,
make sure that you are using the ADM file released specifically for each version. For example, if you are
customizing policies for System Update 3.2, you must use the ADM file designed for System Update 3.2.

2. On your server, launch Active Directory.

3. Click servername.com and then click Properties.

4. On the Group Policy tab, highlight New Group Policy Object and click Edit.

Note: You can also type gpedit.msc in the Open or Start Search box to launch the Group Policy Editor.

5. Right-click Administrative Templates.
